Megan Fox is taking fans to school when it comes to personal hygiene—and no, we don’t just mean that as a turn of phrase. We mean, she’s literally taking fans to school.

On Thursday, April 9, popular personal care brand Dr. Squatch shared a duo of videos on Instagram featuring the star, who all but broke the internet earlier this year with her daring return to social media. The dual ads positioned the actress as the “head professor” at “Dr. Squatch’s Foundation for Odor Excellence,” with Fox declaring she’s been called upon to teach a serious lesson in how to combat stink.

Class is in session with Fox

In the first video shared by the brand, the actress appeared before a chalkboard, declaring that—despite it likely being a “bad idea”—she was going to give her phone number out to fans. As she began to list the digits, the clip cut out to the Dr. Squatch mascot doing a delightful dance number instead, cutting back to the star just as she wrapped up her “announcement.”

This silly video was swiftly followed by a second ad featuring Fox, wherein the actress was seated in a fancy-looking college classroom, complete with hardwood desks and warm lighting to really drive home that elite academia aesthetic. “Are you tired of being stinky?” Fox asked, pointing her wooden ruler at the viewer. “I can fix that.”

Fox then prompts viewers to join her for “early enrollment,” with a sign-up page already available on Dr. Squatch’s website for those interested. And this, of course, isn’t the brand’s first foray into celebrity collaboration territory. Last year, Dr. Squatch famously (or should we say infamously) made headlines after selling soap allegedly crafted with drops of actress Sydney Sweeney’s bathwater incorporated into the formula.

Fans are ready to enroll

As one might expect, fans of both Fox and the brand were excited to see the collaboration following the actress’s aforementioned hiatus. As a result, many users took to the comment section to share their support—and also, to crack a few A+ jokes.

“Marketing team, raise now,” one user declared.

“PLEASE TELL ME THE NEXT SOAP IS [NAMED] JENNIFERS BODY LMAO,” another joked, referencing the actress’s iconic 2009 film.

“I fear I maybe too early to enrollment,” one commenter quipped.

“Tell them stinky boys megannn!!!! 🔥🔥,” another applauded.

While it’s not yet clear if Fox will be part of a new item launch for the brand à la Sweeney, one thing’s for sure: we’d better get going before we’re late for class!
